The new Palm Pre, due out in the first half of this year, has some really nice features. These include a Replaceable battery, and a MicroUSB connector for charging, with USB 2.0 support. This is on top of the standards, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, various sensors, a sharp screen.

The biggest stopping block to the Pre being a game changer is having it locked to the Sprint network. As soon as it becomes available on other networks, it could be a interesting challenge to the iPhone.
